Re: Migrate snapvault primary to new aggregate - without breaking protection manager

darrindg · ‎2017-01-16

Hello,

We need to migrate a volume to a new aggregate (as its current aggregate is nearing capacity).

How can we do this without losing protection manager snapvault and backups (or more accurately, restore) capability - and without rebaselining?

Regards,

Darrin.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty dissapointed if this is such a complex task. Surely people need to move primary volumes from time to time?

Anyway, I'll try my luck with a support call.

Thanks again,

Darrin.

Protection Manager 5 with 7dot? There is a wizard in the Protection Manager GUI to move secondary volumes.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately, we need to move the primary and not the secondary volume!
